Fonts are in the news, so I'm going to take the opportunity to port over an old thread: what was typography like in the Soviet Union?

Spoiler: they did not just have 1 font everyone had to use. As a matter of fact, there were 39.

One of them, you can see here, used to great effect for "Chernobyl."

Sisäministeri Rantanen saa oman ICE:n? Ei säännöksiä eduskunnan osallistumisesta, oikeasuhtaisuudesta, välttämättömyydestä. Ei tarvittaisi edes hallituksen päätöstä vaan sisäministeri päättäisi itse. Poliisilakiin ehdotetun uuden 15k §:n 3 mom. antaisi avoimen harkintavallan lähettää ICE kaduille

I was talking to friends last night about white liberals. They truly believe that showing up in an orderly fashion and expressing their displeasure is sufficient to make oppressors change course. No matter how many times you tell them it's not enough.

people like Palmer Luckey understand, either explicitly or implicitly, that retro tech and retro games are an accessible pathway to right wing radicalization. the politics of "remember the past when things were simpler and better?" are only a few steps removed from MAGA, unless you're very careful

Velkajarrusta tärkeä vertailu, millaista sopeutusta se edellyttää suhteessa EU:n sääntöihin. VM:n laskelmien perusteella sopeutusvaatimus jo EU-säännöillä erittäin suurta 6-12 mrd e (vrt. Orpo 4 mrd e) ja velkajarrusta vielä 3 mrd e lisäsopeutusta päälle. 😬

Velkajarru on hyväksytty - mitä nyt? - Matias Mäkynen
Eduskuntaryhmät hyväksyivät 14.10.2025 kansallista velkajarrua koskevan sopimuksen. Mihin velkajarru johtaa? Millaisia riskejä päätöksessä on? Miten Ruotsin järjestelmä toimii? Näitä kysymyksiä avaan.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä.

Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

Eilen A-studiossa Markku Ruotsila käytti lähteenä väitteelleen, että USA:ssa äärivasemmistolainen terrorismi on ylittänyt oikeiston, Center for International & Statregic Studiesin tutkimusta. Jos Googlaa tutkimuksen, siinä ei ihan sanota sitä mitä Ruotsila sanoo
"n recent years, the United States has seen an increase in the number of left-wing terrorism attacks and plots, although such violence has risen from very low levels and remains much lower than historical levels of violence carried out by right-wing and jihadist attackers. So far, 2025 marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing terrorist attacks outnumber those from the violent far right. Despite its decline this year, right-wing terrorism could easily return to previous high levels. It is important to resource counterterrorism efforts against both right- and left-wing terrorism and work with communities to gain their support against extremists. Leaders across the political spectrum must condemn violent extremism of all kinds, denying it legitimacy and reducing its appeal." "Left-wing attacks are remarkably less lethal overall than jihadist or right-wing attacks. However, even incidents that do not result in mass casualties can still have significant impact. Fortunately, many left-wing attackers (though not all) have demonstrated limited skill in carrying out violence, and the movement is disorganized, with little formal coordination. The rise in left-wing attacks merits increased attention, but the fall in right-wing attacks is probably temporary, and it too requires a government response. In any case, many of the prescriptions for fighting terrorism effectively apply to violence from both the left and right. These include ensuring proper counterterrorism resourcing, avoiding overreactions, and having leadership unequivocally condemn such attacks." "Despite the rise in the number of left-wing terrorist incidents, there exist several characteristics and conditions that limit the scale and sophistication of attacks. The overall low lethality rates in left-wing attacks are probably attributable to several factors, including target selection, target scope, tactical methods employed, low levels of perpetrator skill, and counterterrorism measures. First, left-wing perpetrators typically select targets that limit opportunities for mass killing. In the past decade, left-wing attacks most commonly occurred at government or law enforcement facilities. These locations are often protected by physical fortifications and security personnel, making it more difficult for perpetrators to kill targets during an attack. For example, in the July 2025 attack on ICE’s Prairieland Detention Facility, one police officer was wounded before additional law enforcement forced the attackers to flee.14 The attackers’ choice of a hardened federal compound with security personnel on site contributed to the attack’s failure to kill any victims. This contrasts with jihadist attacks, which most commonly target crowded public areas with limited or no security measures, such as the car ramming attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans on January 1, 2025, that killed 14 victims."

This is such a fascinating post because we often hear the opposite from software professionals: every website is now the same, which is boring.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what UXers think about it, if users hate it. So why do we keep making websites the same, if that "same" is bad?

Old computer users like me can relate to what I’m about to say, which is that UI/UX design hit its apogee maybe in the first few years of the 2000s, and it has been a disastrous downhill shit show ever since. There used to be very well-understood conventions by which to abide.

Kun ideologia estää järjenkäytön.
Ruutukaappaus lehtiartikkelista: "Leikattavaa olisi siis miljardin verran. Se vastaa summaa, jonka hallitus on toteuttamassa veronkevennyksinä. Olisiko päätös syytä perua? "Sellaista ei ainakaan tällä hetkellä ole vireillä. Ei verososialismi meitä pelasta. Jos se ratkeaisi sillä, kaikki olisi jo hyvin," Kopra sanoo.

The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades

Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated
